Too many book ideas, not enough hours in the day (said in the vocal style of the old space bags infomercial “too much stuff, not enough space”)

The federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour.

Think about what eggs cost.

Think about what parking at a parking garage costs.

Now how can you think that $7.25 is an adequate wage for an hour of someone’s labor. It’s not.

rewatching mamma mia and I'm chomping at the bit for a romance book with a scene as teasing and squeal-worthy as the "lay all your love on me" number!!!

FINALLY revamped my author website (myself🥹). If you need a brain break...maybe click the link, scroll through, and tell me that it doesn't suck? 🤭 Cheers to balling on a budget!

If I ever become a full time author and get to quit my day job, the FIRST thing I’m going to do is dye my hair whatever color I want! It’s 2025, what do you mean I can’t have purple streaks in my hair as a grown adult with adult money? I work in digital marketing 😭

Hey so, that Microsoft Word subscription price hike email you just got? That refers to an AI-heavy version of MS which you can absolutely opt out of and maintain your current, “classic” subscription at a lower price. Thanks @lzats.bsky.social for the tip!

There's a lot of pitch events here at the start of the year, so it's pretty hard to keep track.

Here's a list of the ones we know of and when they're happening!
